Job Description

JR PAT Testing is an expanding PAT and Compliance Company currently looking for engineers to join our team in Poplar. We offer self‑employed positions with flexible hours, allowing interested individuals to work either part‑time or full‑time.

Although we understand that some may travel further afield, we require that all applicants have a reasonable commuting distance to Poplar or closer.

This role offers potential earnings on a pro‑rated basis depending on the rate per appliance, the number of tests and job dynamics. Our jobs range from one‑day projects to long‑term contracts, allowing us to discuss all details and determine what works best for you.

To apply, you must have your transport or means to get to work and equipment, hold a City & Guilds 2377 PAT qualification or equivalent, be reliable and honest, as well as having a ‘can‑do’ attitude. All necessary equipment, including testing instruments, measuring devices, and additional tools, must be kept up‑to‑date, in good working order, and meet relevant regulations.

A typical day for a PAT tester starts with packing up all the necessary tools and equipment – including testers and record books – into the van before setting off to the first job. Once on site, it’s time to get started on testing all appliances, such as microwaves, kettles and computers. As the PAT tester, you’ll also need to inform users of the results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use. After testing, you’ll record your findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or onto an electronic system and provide employers with a copy, including any additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists. Throughout the day, you’ll be constantly moving from one location to another – either alone or part of a team – so it’s important to stay organised and ensure all tests are completed accurately and efficiently.

It takes skill, experience and patience to be successful in this role but the rewards are great. As a PAT testing engineer, you’ll be helping to keep workplaces safe as well as developing your own knowledge and expertise.
